Ah, I see. Not everyone follows the development of every window manager
on earth, so you couldn't really expect me to get your irony. Anyway...

Err, did you ever wonder why Emacs is so popular among people who
actually use their computer?

I disagree. Applications are different; they provide different features,
and therefore cannot have the same shortcuts except for a handful of
things, such as copy, paste and quit. If you only accept "standard
shortcuts", then all other features are not accessible from the
keyboard, with the result that in most cases, the app won't be very
usable, unless there are means to customize one's own shortcuts.

Okay, so at least this confirms my impression that the GTK+ development
is heavily influenced by the GNOME project.
